Chapter 113
Xie Chen swept away the soil with his hands, revealing a brown board.

People don't come here very often, even if someone enters the bamboo forest on a whim, they won't squat on the ground to watch. There is soil on the brown wooden boards, which is no different from other places.

The wooden board was a bit heavy, and it took a lot of effort for the golden branch to lift it up. The bottom was a black box, and the wooden board was the lid of the box.

There are not many things in it, only a key and a letter.

Xie Chen picked up the two things and opened the letter first.

The words above made Xie Chen unable to maintain a calm face, and it was actually a letter from a person from Nanchu.

What the letter asked was about the current situation of Yan Zhao Kingdom, people should support the prince who has the advantage of seizing the heir, and Yan Qing'an must not be allowed to succeed in proclaiming himself emperor.

Xie Chen's eyes were gloomy, he didn't expect Nan Chu to be involved in this matter of seizing the heir, if so, Yan Yichen could be regarded as collaborating with the enemy.

However, Xie Chen was not sure whether Yan Yichen knew that the person behind him was sent by Nanchu.

Xie Chen put the letter in his sleeve, and took the golden branch into the backyard.

Here Mrs. Ye went out with the silver ring, and the servants and servants in front were not as relaxed as before, they were all doing some work.

Unlike others, a young servant raised his eyes to stare at their leaving figures, and walked towards the backyard without attracting the attention of others.

When he saw Xie Chen, he tried to find a way to spread the news, but the capital was a little far away, and now he had to delay for the master.

When he came to the gate of the backyard, Xie Chen and her servant disappeared.

Walking into the bamboo grove, he lifted up the board, and found that the things inside were gone. The boy's eyes dimmed. Could it be that they had already discovered the secret room?

He hurried into the backyard, walked into the screen of the main house, and there was a bed inside. He went to the innermost corner of the bed and found that the lock had not been tampered with, and he felt relieved.

Before he could figure it out, Xie Chen's voice came from behind: "Thank you, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to find it if it was so hidden."

This villa really has a secret, but...why is it the villa of Xie Mansion.

The boy realized that he had fallen into a situation designed by Xie Chen, and in order not to be discovered below, his eyes flashed with evil.

Only a dead man's mouth can keep secrets.

The fist wind flashed in front of Xie Chen, and the boy only attacked Xie Chen.

Xie Chen stepped back to avoid the punch, but didn't make a move, waiting for Jin Zhi to test out the boy's skills.

The boy didn't expect Jin Zhi to be good at martial arts at first, and he was at a disadvantage if he didn't make a move in time, but after he figured out the way of Jin Zhi's attack, the situation gradually reversed.

"Jin Zhi, be careful with your right leg!" Xie Chen shouted from behind.

Jin Zhi was busy dealing with the attack with his hands, completely oblivious to the boy's legs sweeping towards her.

Jin Zhi dodges at the sound, the little servant can't hurt her, but he has a chance to attack Xie Chen's face.

Xie Chen stepped back in a panic, and leaned against the table with his waist.

Seeing that Xie Chen didn't know martial arts like Jin Zhi, the boy directly punched Xie Chen in the face.

There was a smile on the corner of Xie Chen's mouth, the boy felt something strange in his heart, but he didn't have time to stop, and hit the vase behind Xie Chen.

The vase shattered, and the fragments embedded in the servant's hands, blood flowing.

Before the boy could cry out in pain, Xie Chen pressed him on the table with his backhand, picked up the large fragment of the neck of the vase, and pressed it against the boy's neck.

"Say, who is the person behind you?" Xie Chen asked with cold eyes.

The young man didn't answer Xie Chen's words, and only said: "The daughter of the prime minister's mansion is not like the ladies of the other families, what will happen if it gets out?"

He is threatening Xie Chen.

But Xie Chen smiled indifferently, his face was stained with the boy's blood, his smile was bright and strange: "Do you know what the premise is to say it?"

"You have to live."

The boy still had an unyielding expression on his face, as if he was not afraid of what Xie Chen would do.

"You are delaying time for your master." Xie Chen looked at him and said.

Finally, the boy's expression froze, Xie Chen saw through his trick.

Knowing that there was nothing to ask from his mouth, the fragment of the vase in Xie Chen's hand found the right position and slashed along his neck, blood gushed out, Xie Chen didn't dodge, his hands were stained with blood.

Xie Chen stared at his hand, his eyes couldn't tell what it was, and the days to come would probably be the same as today.

"Miss, come and unlock the lock." Jin Zhi looked at Xie Chen's expression, worried that she was afraid and said to her.

Xie Chen wiped off the blood on his face with a handkerchief, wiped his hands casually, walked to the window, and handed the key to Jin Zhi.

Jin Zhi opened the lock and looked at Xie Chen.

Standing by the bed, Xie Chen lightly kicked up the edge of the bed with his foot, and the upper bed board was slightly lifted up and then fell down, making a sound.

Jin Zhi understood Xie Chen's meaning, stepped out and lifted the bed board, only to see the stairs inside.

"Miss..." Jin Zhi was afraid that there would be some danger inside, and wanted to ask Xie Chen what he meant, but saw Xie Chen skipping him and walking forward.

Jin Zhi stopped talking and followed Xie Chen down.

Going down to the end, there is actually a dark room inside, and it seems that the entire villa has been opened up.

There is a long dark passage in front of you, and there is a faint light in front of it.
"Miss..." Jin Zhi said, he didn't expect the echo in the dark room to be so loud, wouldn't it be discovered by the people above?
Xie Chen is also aware of this problem. It seems that many people here have been bribed, and they should all be replaced.

Xie Chen walked forward with Jin Zhi, and entered inside through the secret passage.

The layout of the inside is almost the same as that of the villa above, but it is less popular than the above, and it looks dark and cold.

"Miss, that's... Aunt Jing's body." The colder it gets as you go inside, Jin Zhi hugged his body, saw the scene in the room, his eyes widened, and he pointed in disbelief.

Aunt Jing's body was placed on the ice bed, and no one knew what method was used, but there was no smell. The appearance and body were intact, but the arrow on the chest was still on it.

Xie Chen endured the coldness, raised his foot and walked in.

Aunt Jing was lying on the ice bed in a very strange posture, her eyes were wide open as if she was dead, they were not closed, her face was still wearing makeup, and her hair was a little messy, as if she was still or not.

Thinking of what Aunt Jing did to him in the previous life, Xie Chen didn't close Aunt Jing's eyes, but looked at her chest, pulled the arrow away from Aunt Jing's body, and held it in her hand for a closer look.

This arrow is different from the one seen in the Guosi, and there are words written on it.

It's just that it uses the golden language, which has long been lost, but there are some traces left in some books.

But this handwriting, Xie Chen thinks he has seen it somewhere... Where is it?

"Have you seen enough?" A gloomy voice came from the door unexpectedly, Xie Chen and Jin Zhi raised their heads.
